blastocyst is where the egg has reached around 70-100 cells. This is the stage before it becomes an embryo. it will start around Day 5 after fertilization. If i don't remember wrongly, got better chance like that because the egg will hatch once transfered into the body and implant.
Basically it is higher chance as you will already know that the egg has attain a closer step to becoming an embryo.
Anyway, you can take a look at how the eggs suppose to look like at each stage -->

Dear ladies,
can I ask for opinion, esp to those who went through 2WW. I calculated the time of my 2WW and realised that during that period, I booked a chalet for my family. If I am not wrong, it should be on the second week of my 2WW. Now, is it safe or advisable to go? I mean, bbq, walking around and so on. Is 1 day ok, minimum walking and no bbq, just rest outside of the chalet? Didn't want to make my parents worried and also try not to be a spoilt spot. What do you reckon? Thanks

Zeena,
How come you going KK for Pregnyl jab? Tired of jabbing yourself? Last jab will be this Sun. Nurse say it might be due to infection or my undies did not wash properly. Had my 'mei mei' washed with Latacid, feeling better now. Nervous? So so lor. After knowing the no. of eggs collected and fertilised, i wasn't very optimistic about the result. Just hope i will blessed. What about you?
Pretyy,
That nurse seems to be new. I never see her before. She did my blood test.

Don't be mistaken. It's total of 4 jabs. 1 jab every 3 days.

Kym,
Like ML mentioned, he hopes that the egg reaches the blastocyst stage and then the chances that the egg will be implanted will be higher.. I heard about 40% chance.. i am really hoping for that...Ya imagine, I waited 7 years before really decided to do IVF. so now, is my only chance..
Budderball,
Dont be jealous.. I still do not know the grade yet and its still too early to say.. You are in your 2WWks rite? Take care.. I am so excited for you!!

i salute you. Can tahan 7 years. I try for almost 3 yrs i already very sianz liaoz.

i think they will monitor first. if the eggs are ok and good quality and there are many eggs, they will let it grow outside first. If not so good, then they will transfer earlier. That was what I was told lah... For me. i got very little eggs so they will transfer in before it reaches the blastocyst stage, just in case they can't make it outside.

Cuteangel,
For me OK for lucrin, puregon and pregnyl, no diff. maybe all needles for these are small.
Oh, talking about the jab before ER is the most horrible one. Me too! Can feel the drug inserted.

ML,
that's why,.. now that i think of it, i shuld have started earlier.. but then again, i think i am more prepared now.. mentally and physically. I worked out for about 2 years and build up my health.. think its important..
kym,
If you want to lose weight, you can try to run on the threadmill at least 3 times a week. I did that and even signed up for aerobics classes.. Seeing my weight drop by the month spurs me on..

rejoice,
yes, i start puregon today. Did it myself with the nurse there to coach me. She's very nice make me kind of relax during the jab. The pain actually comes later after the jab. But is bearable. Wish you all the best. Jia you!
Zeena,
Think you got the wrong person. I stil in puregon stage haven't gone thru ER yet.

hi blesswbb & budderball,
not sure it's gd or bad... my dosage of puregon prescrbed was only 200 units. didn't take the jab while at KKHIVF cos i returned to work in afternoon & had to attend an event in evening. in fact i took both my lucrin & puregon (i.e 1st jab) only after reaching home & taking shower. mmm... may i ask if we could store the pen with cartridge (but without needle) in fridge till jab next day?
hi blesswbb,
it has been <hr since i took the puregon jab... had yet experienced bloatedness. let's see whether i experienced any later on in morning. how many hours later does does your stomach start feeling bloated?? anyway, hopefully the condition is not affecting ur sleep.

hi ladies,
I am quite saddened today when the embrologist called to say that now left with only 8 fertilised eggs instead of 11. Dr said that the eggs will be monitored and hopefully they can continue to become good and healthy cells so that the ET can still be done on Tues.. I am trying to stay positive and really hoping for the blastocyst stage..

Hi Pretty lady,
not to worry abt only taking 200units, i have asked the nurse why i was given 400units. She said 1 of the reason is due to my cyst and went thru the ops to get rid of it so part of the tissue has been taken away. secondly, my age is also 1 of the reason.
The bloatness comes later after 2hrs. Try drink warm water feel better after dat.
